Synopsis

In 1964 Roger Miller hit the pop charts with “Dang Me”—the same year the Beatles hit America and began the British Invasion. Roger received five Grammys for that year—and six more in 1965 when he had “King of the Road.” Roger Miller was not an overnight success—he was a successful country songwriter since 1958, penning hits for Ray Price (“Invitation to the Blues), Jim Reeves (“Billy Bayou” and “Home”) and Ernest Tubb (“Half a Mind”). Later, he wrote the score to the Tony Award winning Broadway musical Big River. In this biography, Don Cusic traces the personal life and career of Roger Miller, from Erick, Oklahoma to the Country Music Hall of Fame and shows why Roger Miller was an American Genius.
